Between 11pm and 5am, almost all of our Tim Hortonses have only one person on staff. I went for a middle-of-the-night bike ride last summer and stopped at one to get a drink, I waited almost 10 minutes and it was nearly 1am. The sole employee had to manage the store (including cleaning), the drive through, and the Cold Stone Creamery thing, which apparently is also 24/7.

On the Greyhound trips between here and Winnipeg, most stops on the way were beside a Tim Hortons, and I usually managed to get back to the bus just a couple minutes before it took off again. The layovers are 20 minutes... The Kenora stop was just before 6am on the way to Winnipeg so it was fully staffed but otherwise it wasn't a very enjoyable experience. Since the bus is a daily scheduled thing you'd think they would work it into their business plan.
